Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0260839A2] A protection arrangement for a two-wire line, such as a telephone sunscriber line, includes a transformer having two primary windings and a secondary winding. The primary windings are connected in series with the wires of the line with phases such that common mode (longitudinal) currents on the line induce a current in the secondary winding, whereas loop currents do not. The induced current in the secondary winding is amplified and used to trigger a protection device, such as a triac or SCR and diode bridge arrangement, to short circuit the line for the duration of any excessive current thereon.
